The VR 5G experience enables tourists the opportunity to take a virtual tour of Rome, Total Telecom reported. The 5G services are currently available in Terminal 3 however, the companies desire to stretch this across the whole airport in the future.
'By choosing Fiumicino Airport to display the 5G potential, TIM strengthens its top role in the Italian mobile communications market and in the field of development,' said Francesco D’Angelo, head of sales at TIM.
‘ These services and applications will be soon around to all customers throughout the country. “ They will be a ground for boosting people’s lives, company production processes and efficiency in public administration.
